Transmembrane helix assembly by window exchange umbrella sampling.
A method of window exchange umbrella sampling molecular dynamics simulation is employed for transmembrane helix assembly. An analytical expression for the average acceptance probability between neighboring windows is derived and combined with the first passage time optimization method to predetermine a parameter set in an optimal range. With the parameter set, the method provides a substantiall...
متن کاملPrediction of transmembrane helix configurations by replica-exchange simulations
We propose a method for predicting helical membrane protein structures by computer simulations. Our method consists of two parts. In the first part, amino-acid sequences of the transmembrane helix regions are obtained from one of existing WWW servers. In the second part, we perform a replica-exchange simulation of these transmembrane helices with some constraints and identify the predicted stru...
متن کاملUmbrella sampling
The calculation of free-energy differences is one of the main challenges in computational biology and biochemistry. Umbrella sampling, biased molecular dynamics (MD), is one of the methods that provide free energy along a reaction coordinate. Here, the method is derived in a historic overview and is compared with related methods like thermodynamic integration, slow growth, steered MD, or the Ja...
متن کاملUmbrella sampling for nonequilibrium processes.
The authors introduce an algorithm for determining the steady-state probability distribution of an ergodic system arbitrarily far from equilibrium. By enforcing equal sampling of different regions of phase space, as in umbrella sampling simulations of systems at equilibrium, low probability regions are explored to a much greater extent than in physically weighted simulations. The algorithm can ...
متن کاملTransmembrane helix predictions revisited.
Methods that predict membrane helices have become increasingly useful in the context of analyzing entire proteomes, as well as in everyday sequence analysis. Here, we analyzed 27 advanced and simple methods in detail. To resolve contradictions in previous works and to reevaluate transmembrane helix prediction algorithms, we introduced an analysis that distinguished between performance on redund...
